Hey Bengals, Learn A Bit

[Fan_in_Kettering]

Dusty Baker always had a saying when he was managing the Reds about being up by at least five runs. If the Reds were up by five runs not even a grand slam home run would change the lead. I liked that saying and I'm trying to think of conveying this into football scores. Being up by 29 points -- almost 30, Nuge -- is a substantial lead but I remember the Bengals scoring 31 points against Cleveland in a single quarter a few seasons ago. With modern NFL rules written to favor wide open offense, it's lots easier to come back from a significant deficit.
